Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, on what date the Multi-Role Ocean Surveillance Ship is due to come into service in 2024; and when the tender for that programme will be published.
The new Multi Role Ocean Surveillance programme is in its concept and assessment phase. Options for the procurement strategy and the project schedule are under development, but no firm decisions have yet been made.
No precise date has yet been set for the entry into service of the Multi Role Ocean Surveillance Ship.
